Confusion over birth year

When I first created this bio in March 2023, I listed Peña's approximate birth year as 1992 or 1993 based on a statement in an article in Cosmopolitan published in July 2022 that she was 29 years old. This article is and was linked from the bio of Peña's verified Instagram page; it wasn't difficult to find.

Since then, several anonymous edits have removed that birthdate from the article (1, 2, 3), the most recent with an edit summary stating "Age is not correct according to actor". I do not know if this editor or editors is affiliated with Peña or is basing this statement or assumption on Peña's IMDb page, which currently states that Peña was born in March 2001. But IMDb is not considered a reliable source on Wikipedia.

The only website I could find that placed Peña's birth year as 2001 was an interview published last month in Latin Heat that described her as a "twenty-two-year-old". I added this source and updated her estimated age accordingly. But I then found articles on her middle and high school websites stating that she graduated in 2007 and 2011 respectively. That she - or most anyone - would have graduated from middle school (eighth grade) at the age of six and high school at the age of 10 is implausible at best.

If anyone has reliable sources stating Peña's birth year to be in 2001, please do weigh in. Funcrunch (talk) 17:20, 8 September 2023 (UTC)
